An interventional study of Tooth extraction and Benex in Tooth Extraction Status Nos, sponsored by Plovdiv Medical University. Completed at 1 site in Bulgaria. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-11.
Sponsored by Plovdiv Medical University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the vertical extraction system Benex and Physics forceps with the conventional extraction tools (extraction forceps and elevators) in the early wound healing period after tooth extraction, as means for minimally invasive tooth extraction.
All patients aged 18 years and over who require closed tooth extraction with good oral hygiene were eligible for participation.
Participants were randomly allocated to tooth extraction with either Benex, Physics forceps or conventional extraction tools using box randomization. Patients are followed up during the recovery period to assess pain and early wound healing, while at the time of extraction, success and buccal cortical plate fracture were evaluated.
Plovdiv Medical University is the lead sponsor of 16 studies on the registry; 5 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
This is the first study group where patients undergo extractions with presumably the vertical tooth extraction system Benex.
Procedure: Tooth extraction · Device: Benex
This is the second study group where patients undergo extractions with the presumably minimally invasive Physics forceps.
Procedure: Tooth extraction · Device: Physics Forceps
This is the control group where patients undergo tooth extractions with conventional extraction forceps and elevators.
Procedure: Tooth extraction · Device: Conventional Extraction Forceps
A regular closed tooth extraction was performed with the different devices from each arm.
Benex was used to perform the intervention.
Physics forceps were used to perform the intervention.
Conventional Extraction Forceps were used to perform the intervention.
Extraction success
The scale suggested by Choi was used to assess each of the extraction systems. Scored from 1 to 5. Higher is better.
Time frame: From the beginning of the extraction to the completion of the procedure
Alveolar bone buccal cortical plate preservation
The difference between the height of the alveolar bone buccal cortical plate is measured before and after the tooth extraction. Scored in milimeters missing. Lower is better.
Time frame: From the beginning of the extraction to the completion of the procedure
VAS pain score
Patients were asked to rate their pain experience on a visual analog scale (VAS). Measured in centimeters on 10cm line. Lower is better.
Time frame: 0, 1, 3, 7 day
Early wound healing
Landry's early wound healing index was used to evaluated the extraction healing process. Scores from 1 to 5. Higher is better.
Time frame: 3, 7, 10 day
Plan to share: Undecided
